Littman impresses the readers by having an organized structure. He addresses the flaws in the opposing view, tackles them and presents his

For example, in “A Little Reality in Immigration” Brooks criticizes Donald Trump's immigration plans, “Now Donald Trump brings Republican crowds to their feet by bashing the supposed criminal hordes sneaking up from Mexico. The problem . . . is that is it completely obsolete”. Throughout the article he depicts Trump as being incoherent with the problem of immigration.

Readers naturally respond to credible authors when reading articles, autobiographies or novels; it is an channel for audiences to connect to their narrators. When famous actor and director Tom Hanks writes an article for “New York Times”, it will not be disregarded and will grip the attention of readers instantly due to his credibility. By Tom Hanks fame for his award winning movies and roles, his pieces of writings will be publicized and noticed by the public, demonstrating a key concept of ethos; appealing to credibility. Hanks’ article will be listened and analyzed deeply because of his status, especially since he was a student who attended a junior college for his first two years of higher education. Hanks states, “I couldn’t afford tuition for college anyway. I sent my final

Gail Collins, an American writer known for writing under the opinion pages for the The New York Times, has turned the recent presidential debate, into something comical. In Gail’s most recent articles, “How Could Anyone Vote for Trump”, “The Dark Days of Donald Trump”, “Don’t Take Donald Trump to Dinner”, and “The Debate in One Scary Answer”, her purpose is to show that Donald Trump is not qualified to become the next president of the United States. In these four articles, her audience is the general educated reader that will be voting in the 2016 presidential election. Gail Collins has a recurring pattern of using the rhetorical modes; illustration and description. In addition, she uses the rhetorical strategies; metaphor, dialogue, and contrast

It is not what a person says that is important, but instead how they say it. By changing the tone or audience of a work, the purpose can be completely altered. Two articles can have identical information, yet when a different tone is formed between the two, their purposes drastically change. The article “ What Colleges Will Teach in 2025” by Jon Meacham and “ The Failure of American Higher Education” by Robert Atkinson both contain a topic that is similar on many levels. That being said, each article has an entirely different tone and audience, effectively skewing the similarity between their purposes. While Atkinson created a sound argument, his choice of tone and use of audience were far less effective than Meacham’s.

Indeed, wooden-headedness plays a large role inside of all organizations and human affairs, as seen by our American government. Even though there is a scientific consensus among the top scientists in the world that climate change is a real phenomenon, Trump and his administration have constantly ignored all contrary signs of climate change to focus on his preconceived notion that climate change was invented by China to set back our industrial capacity. Despite the fact that the American Association for the Advancement of Science has stated how “The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society,” Trump continues to exhibit wooden-headedness by rejecting contrary evidence of climate change and pretending as if climate change doesn’t exist.

Everyone views things a little differently, therefore different writers have different perspectives about different subject matter. For example, while Andy Stern’s stance is that technology will one day take over the jobs of the working class Dean Baker thinks it has nothing to do with the rise in technology at all and more to do with generating demand through government deficits. The way Stern successfully incorporates ethos, pathos, and logos in his piece of writing is more appropriate and effective in accomplishing rhetorical purpose than Baker’s writing.

Writers tend to show bias in their works, whether they are intentionally doing so or not. Using subtle techniques like word choice and writing style, writers reveal their opinions on the topic they are writing about. Alexander Kaufman, a writer for the Huffington Post, recently wrote an article titled, “Chick-Fil-A Hopes NYC Will Forget That Whole Hating-Gays Thing”. This article is about Chick-Fil-A trying to get restaurants put into New York City after the owner of the company was recently quoted being outwardly against gay rights. Kaufman, in this article, reveals that he is against the anti-gay restaurant chain and their attempt to move into New York City. He presents a clear distain towards the company in his article. Alexander Kaufman is against the idea of Chick-Fil-A opening restaurant locations in New York City, and he expresses his beliefs in his article through word choice, use of Bibliomancy, use of puns, quote manipulation, and writing style.

The appeal to the character of the writer is known as ethos. Writers need to be informed, intelligent, honest, and respectful. Ethos is present in this essay through the writing technique of Kayla Webley. I would assume she is a credible source because she is published in Time magazine. Also she did her undergraduate work at University of Washington studying political science and journalism. Her graduate work was done at Northern University in new media. Webley is informed because she gives solid evidence that support her validations and main argument. I would consider her to be intelligent because she has detailed reasoning and uses successful tactics to persuade her readers. Honesty can be seen through Webley’s realistic point of view. She does not try to beat around the bush she gets straight to the problem in Applebaum’s proposal. Finally, she challenges peoples in a respectful way,

Rob Ford has been in the spotlight of Canadian media ever since the allegations have surfaced about a video of the Toronto Mayor smoking crack cocaine. This story gained international attention while even drawing on the Mayor for comic relief. American newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, along with Canadian newspapers, The Globe and Mail and Toronto Sun each have a unique target audience whom they are writing for. As a result of the intended audience each newspaper includes diction and style relevant for the target audience.

In recent events, Trump is trying to isolate America to the rest of the world while trying to deport people of a certain race/ethnicity. With the “Muslim Ban”, people began to see that Trump is doing things that they do not want him to do, and, more recently, people apart of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals programs (Dreamers) are under threat of deportation back to their home countries. An author, Leon Panetta, wrote an article about these events, and he wanted the whole world to know that even though Trump is the president of America, he does not truly represent the people. Leon Panetta uses rhetorical devices to help persuade his audience to know that Trump does not represent who Americans are.

Everyday new things are published from different types of people. Some are well known authors; while others are not, but how do we find out if they are credible. The readers have to analyze the author’s style of writing and determine it themselves. Amanda Ripley, an American writer known for her interest in human behavior and public policy wrote, “Who says a Women Can’t Be Einstein?” While, Bharati Mukherjee a writer from India known for her interests in writing on immigration policy, and cultural alienation wrote, “Two Ways to Belong in America.” Both, Ripley and Mukherjee are credible authors, and is shown by their use of syntax, diction, and tone.

Living in this day and age, politics surrounds the world we know of. Politics represents the values and beliefs a person holds, dictating every move a person takes. Ingrained into everyday life, it’s no surprise there are millions of writings dedicated to circulate political interests. These columns are used to express opinions and ideas without the constraints of academic writing; therefore, appealing to those living average lives, those who make up the majority of society, and those who can largely influence the political outcome. Thomas Sowell, a popular conservative columnist, has written on a multitude of topics, most of which support a conservative stance on social issues.
